Steam Pumps Replaced by Electric Power—New Filtering Tanks Be ing Put in—How the New Bond Issue Money is Being Spent. Of the $75,000 bond issue of last year the sum of $23,000 was des ignated^for the extension of water, light^ud sewerage systems. That "ii.T-rtUKvoted to streets was spent in paving Maiii'Slveuuie with Bitulithic paving whi h the town has-been en joying lor a number of months. The $15,000 voted for school improve ments is being expended in the con struction of an auditorium and ad ditional class rooms at the Central graded school. Of both these im provements more or less has been said in the papers but so far the cit izens generally have not been ac quainted to a very great extent with the expenditure of that portion vot ed for the enlargement of its sewer, light and water systems. Yesterday The Gazette reporter stopped at the power house where he found workmen busily engaged in work on the new Altering tanks and other improvements now in course of construction. Outside stood the two big boilers which have been dis carded and which have been Bold to a local concern for use. At the sou thern end of the building on the out side a large sedimentation Alter tank is being built while inside a Pittsburg low type gravity filter tank is toeing erected which, as a compan ion tank to the one already in use will about double the capacity of the filtering plant, adding 325,000 gal lons per day to it. The total capac ity of the filtering plant, when the new tanks are in operation, will be something over 600,000 a day, an amount sufficient to Bupply a much larger town than Gastonia. Unless the town should grow more rapidly than it has ever done and more rap idly. one might say, than the most optimistic Gastonian expects, this fil tering plant will be sufficient to sup ply all needs for several years to come. In place of the large boilers the boll er room now contains three electric driven pumps. Two of the3e are kept in constant use, each having a capacity of 500 gallons per minute. The third is kept in readiness for use in case of fire and when combined with the other two gives a capacity of 1,000 gallons per minute with a pressure o: 100 pounds. These pun.pi are jur.t now being put into operation. This room has cement doors and is .ponveinently arranged. Outside quite a good deal of work Is being done in the way of extending the sewerage system .On York srteet considerable rock was met with which pus required blasting. A number of new street lights have been installed in various parts of town, though the figures as to thi3 were not obtained by the reporter. Of the $23,000 for these purposes about $8,000 or $9,000 is being spent at the power house and the re mainder outside. When all the im provements now in progress are com pleted Gastonia will be ' in pretty good shape In this line for some time to come. SMITH SURPRISED. Did Not Expect to Defeat John Gary Evans. Charlotte Observer. Columbia, S. C„ Sept. 9.—The con test for United States Senator which E. D. Smith, of the cotton associa tion, won from ex-Governor John Ga ry Evans by over 26,000 majority surprised Mr. Smith possibly more than almost anybody in the State. He went home Monday afternoon to Florence from Columbia feeling that he was defeated. He frankly told a few of his more intimate friends as much. He feared the outcome of the Evans crowd’s appeal to the preju dice of the voters in charging him in the eleventh hour with being a bolt er and a member of the Haskell In dependent convention which fought the election of Tillman when he was nominated the first time for Gover nor. When his friends gathered about him and tried to tell him he was talking nonsense he said: "No, I am beat, I know it; I am going home to be with my wife to console her.” Mr. Smith is not altogether inex perienced In politics, but he appear ed to have had a severe attack of "blues’," which occasionally comes to a man of his temperament and mod esty on the eve of the decisive bat tle. Of course be never did show tfte "white feather” to the outside world and he worked like mad Up to the very last day, but he went home deeply depressed, n^ertheless. It Is possible that his state of mind was partly due to the reaction follow lng the tremendous work he had just been doing in the upper tier of coun ties. „ Out of a total of 96,000 Votes Caughman has climbed ahead of Cansler for Railroad Commissioner, and has a majority of over 300. It looks as if an ofilcial count will be necessary to determine who is elect ed. CHERRYVIL^E CHAT. Correspondence of The Gazette. (Crowded out of last issue.) CHERRYV1LLE. Sept. 7 —R. J.
